- 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns (thawed)
- 6 strips bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (red or green)
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- 1. Cook the bacon
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy, about 6–8 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate; chop once cool. Discard most of the bacon fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
- 2. Sauté vegetables
- Add vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in onion and bell pepper; sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
- 3. Cook hash browns
- Add the thawed hash browns in an even layer. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Press lightly with a spatula and cook undisturbed for 5–6 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
- 4. Flip hash browns
- Gently flip or stir and cook for another 5 minutes until hash browns are crispy.
- 5. Add cheese, bacon, and eggs
- Sprinkle with cheese and chopped bacon. Make four small wells in the mixture and crack eggs into each. Cover the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, until egg whites are set and yolks are runny (or longer, for firmer yolks).
- 6. Garnish and serve
- Garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot directly from the skillet.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To enhance the flavors, use a good-quality smoked paprika and fresh vegetables. Keep the skillet covered while cooking the eggs to help them cook evenly. Remember to leave some bacon fat for extra richness, but avoid too much grease to keep the dish balanced.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For a spicy kick, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. You can substitute sausage or ham for bacon if preferred. For a different twist, try using sweet potatoes instead of traditional hash browns to add natural sweetness and color.
Serviervorschläge
This skillet pairs wonderfully with freshly squeezed orange juice or a cup of brewed coffee for a complete and satisfying breakfast experience. Serve it straight from the pan for a rustic presentation that’s sure to impress.
